PH EMBASSY, FILCOM ORGS GATHER AT FOURTH UGNAYAN AND LAUNCH OF UP VINTA IN SINGAPORE

The Philippine Embassy in Singapore successfully held the fourth and final installment of this year’s UGNAYAN: Bagong Pilipinas Town Hall Meeting on Sunday, 27 October 2024. With over 50 Filipino community leaders and stakeholders in attendance and a live stream of the meeting on the Embassy’s Facebook page, the event marked another milestone in Post’s efforts to involve Filipinos in Singapore in programs and initiatives that support their growth and empowerment.

REMINDER AGAINST THIRD-COUNTRY RECRUITMENT SCHEMES

The Philippine Embassy continues to receive disturbing allegations of illegal recruitment emanating from Singapore for work in other countries.

In this regard, the Philippine Embassy reiterates its reminder to our kababayans in Singapore to exercise extreme caution when encountering advertisements, whether through online platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp) or by word of mouth, which promise higher-paying jobs in another country.

Under this scheme, recruiters target Overseas Filipino Workers already deployed in their destination countries, including Singapore, with employment opportunities in Canada, Poland, Germany, Malta, Mongolia, and other countries.

PHILIPPINE MATH WIZARDS BAG TWO OVERALL WINS AT 2024 SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL MATH OLYMPIAD CHALLENGE

SIMOC is a prestigious annual competition which gathers young math enthusiasts from around the world. This year’s SIMOC run has the highest participant turnout, with around 2,000 students from 32 countries gathering to challenge and expand their intellectual abilities.

BEWARE OF INDIVIDUALS USING THE NAME OF THE PHILIPPINE EMBASSY IN RECRUITMENT SCHEME

It has come to our attention that certain individuals are using the name and logo of the Philippine Embassy, posing as Embassy employees, and/or alleging to have connections to the Embassy, in recruiting Filipinos and offering employment in Singapore.

The recruiters will then require payment of exorbitant application fees and later on will be unresponsive after receiving the payment from the interested applicants.

Please be informed that the Philippine Embassy is not involved in any kind of recruitment activities, nor in facilitating the hiring process for a third party, including conducting interviews and accepting employment application fees. The Embassy has also neither authorized any person nor availed of any services of third party recruitment agencies for Filipinos seeking employment in Singapore.
